+1 on the pics. I've seen a few images of Mk6's with R8 rims but no Mk5's as of yet. To be honest I'm not expecting them to suite the 5 as well as the 6 purely because the 6 is that bit more angular (the 5 is more rounded) but I'll happily be proved wrong if they look good.  :smiley:

Are you going to keep them the factory diamond cut finish or are you going to paint them?

I think machine polished as they are now for a bit maybe in future if needed returned maybe dark grey colour on silver golf
Would them tyres affect speedo at all if anyone knows

Gutted. That's a heck of a drive to find that out. What was he expecting you to just turn up and hand him the cash without checking them over?

A narrow escape.  19" wheels and thin tyres will only make your car slow and jarry.
